Wentzville Celebrates the Legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King

On Monday, Jan. 16, area residents will come together to honor the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King.

The 2012 program, Remember! Celebrate! Act! A Day on Not a Day Off, begins at 7 p.m. at . This special, community-wide celebration will feature keynote speaker William Jenkins and a performance by the Rhema Dance Ministry.

Wentzville’s Mayor Paul Lambi is assisting with the promotion and planning of the event. Lambi said he feels it is important everyone in the community takes time to reflect on the legacy Dr. King left our country.

“Dr. King’s life taught us how to not just dream things can be better, but how to take positive steps to make those dreams a reality. It’s a lesson we should never lose sight of,” said Lambi.

The event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served immediately following the event.

Barbara Love, who has worked with Lambi on past Martin Luther King Day celebrations, is again one of the coordinators for this event.

Individuals who want more information about the event are encouraged to call either Mayor Lambi’s office at (636) 327-5101 or Barbara Love at (314) 591-8468.
